25 years in research and production, this feature-length documentary on the Armenian Genocide focuses on the day-to-day tragedy unfolding in Kharpert-Mezreh, one among 4000 towns and villages of the former Ottoman empire in 1915, where monumental forces were unleashed by a policy of annihilation. Includes eyewitness accounts of American and European officials, missionaries, and educators, and by Armenian survivors. These are revealed for the first time, through censored reports, classified documents and hidden diaries. Scratched-out journals are decoded with the help of digital technology.
Voices from the Lake (1999) is currently not available on any services.
